The leaked drawing also appears to show the iPhone 8 measuring in at 149.5mm tall and 72.5mm wide, compared with the iPhone 7's 138.3mm length and 67.1mm width.

The sides of the iPhone design don't appear to stray from what we know of current versions of the device. You've still got the volume toggles, mute switch, lock button, SIM card tray, Lightning connector, speaker grille and what is probably a faux speaker grille.

Alas, there is still no headphone jack, so we can all continue to mourn that particularly tragic loss.

So, it's hard to say what we should all make of this leak. Apple typically prototypes several different versions of a new iPhone at once, and they'll eventually proceed with the model that's best suited for manufacturing at scale.

For what it's worth, MacRumors says a similar design drawing and a few real-life photos of a device were leaked around this time three years ago. Those leaks apparently ended up being the actual final model of the iPhone 6.

Either way, I will remain unimpressed and underwhelmed until they give me my headphone jack back.
